EASY SPYWARE REMOVAL

When you type a search into Google it directs you to a page other than the page you were looking for. You have been hijacked or malware has been installed on your computer. The first thing to try is:

Internet Explorer -> Tools -> Connections -> LAN Settings

See if a Proxy has been setup. If it has, uncheck the proxy.

The next step is to get Superantipyware and run a scan. Anything it finds, remove.

Many times a pop-up stating that the file your trying to run is infected. This is simply an issue with the way the .exe file is setup to run. The spyware people add code to make another application launch when you click on this type of file. This can be overcome by editing the regsitry and correcting the .exe association.

Sometimes you may need to do this quickly when Windows boots before the “rogue application” loads. Also, it might be possible to do this in Safe-Mode, by pressing F8 at boot up before you see the Windows XP splash screen.
